This is actually on the Kennebec River in Maine. Unfortunately, I am mostly hidden by my friend Katie! But you do see my black sleeves and hair! :laugh: My husband Pete is in the back with the red shorts on. This was back in August of 2003. Next to Katie is her then b/f Rick (who is now her hubby AND she just had her 2nd baby boy!!)....and then my friend Courtnee and her sister and mother. Then the guy in the way back was our guide who was actually a friend and local! So he knew what he was doing. It was SO much fun! We had been married just 2 months! All young and crazy, no kids!! The heyday!! :laugh:

My husband and I went rafting two months after we got married too. When were on the calm part of the river he and a friend were wrestling around and ended up in the water and his wedding band came off. So if anyone ever catches a fish from the Nantahala and finds a ring inside inscribed with 7/16/94....

Hey Tam, I've been rafting on that river before!! (I live in Maine) If you ever come again you have to do the Penobscot. It's got better, faster rapids than the Kennebec which has lots of dead water. Either way, both are a great time.

My husband and I are going in August to join friends in a annual tubing trip on the Kennebec. We tie a bunch of 18-wheeler tire tubes together in groups of 6, throw a cooler with beer and jello shots in the middle and head down the river. It does'nt cost us 100 bucks a person and it's a little redneck-ish...but what a blast!!

You look like you're having fun. What about that river rice at lunch? YUM!

I LOVE rafting! I haven't been in that neck of the woods yet. I've just done some West Coast and Southwest. It's such a good time!

I so want to go again this year, but I doubt I'll be able to with the house and all. Rafting can get a little pricey (the way we do it at least). That's a great picture.

I'm still seeing if I can find the video of our wipeout! It was SPECTACULAR. If I find it, I'll youtube it and post the link. It was ugly.

Yeah, I want to go again too! Man, was it nice! Especially in August...the water temp was PERFECT and it is absolutely beautiful up there. At one point after the rapids, we all just got out of the raft and floated down with the current. It was so peaceful!
